In quiet environments, hearing aids improve the perception of low-intensity sounds.
However, for high-intensity sounds in background noise, the aids often fail to provide a …

Sensorineural hearing loss typically results in a steepened loudness function and a reduced
dynamic range from elevated thresholds to uncomfortably loud levels for narrowband and …

Objectives: Normalizing perceived loudness is an important rationale for gain adjustments in
hearing aids. It has been demonstrated that gains required for restoring normal loudness …

Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent chronic health problems worldwide and a common
intervention is the wearing of hearing aids. However, the tedious fitting procedures and …

The mammalian auditory system is able to process sounds over an extraordinarily large
dynamic range, which makes it possible to extract information from very small changes both …

The traditional hearing aid fitting method, which mainly relies on the audiologist, is time-
consuming and messy. To improve this situation, a self-fitting algorithm based on an …

Sensorineural hearing loss typically results in elevated thresholds and steepened loudness
growth significantly conditioned by a damage of outer hair cells (OHC). In hearing aids …

Objective: Single-channel noise reduction (SCNR) and dynamic range compression (DRC)
are important elements in hearing aids. Only relatively few studies have addressed …

Hearing aids are the only available treatment for mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing
loss, but often fail to improve perception in difficult listening conditions. To identify the …

Purpose: The aims of this study were to (a) demonstrate the feasibility of administering
categorical loudness scaling (CLS) tests in a remote setting,(b) assess the reliability of …
